Chemical pcb etching machines are used for the purpose of removing copper from a circuit board layer. Usually, this circuit board layer is not shielded or protected with a hardened photoresist by dipping it in a chemical solution. There are two different chemical procedures which are involved in pcb etching. These are acidic etching, and alkaline etching.

Due to the growing usage of electronic devices the demand for semiconductor and electronics has increased drastically. These machines are suitable for both commercial and industrial purposes. This is considered as the latest trend in the market.

These machines have become highly accurate and can be used for manufacturing and fabricating the equipments of aerospace and medical industry. All these factors are generating a robust growth in the chemical pcb etching machines market share.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Decrease in Demand for Chemical Industry Deteriorated Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The outbreak of pandemic of COVID-19 became the primary hinderance for the operation of several markets all over the world. Several factors became responsible for the downfall of the industries. These included disruption in the supply of raw materials, and unavailability of skilled labors.

The major reason for this was the lockdown imposed by governments of different countries. Chemical industry was also negatively affected during this time period. Chemical industry is highly reliant on raw materials and requires heavy machineries to produce the end product. Chemical pcb etching market also requires chemicals like hydrochloric acid. Therefore, the market witnessed a downfall during the pandemic period.
